Chapter 597 The eldest cousin was shocked!
The newly promoted scholar ladies are all the same. When the men in the family go on business, they always come together. The Yan family comes the most, and they all know that the second scholar Yan is highly valued by the palace. What's more important is that the Yan family also has a relationship with the chief manager of the palace. Kiss in succession.
This Yongning City is not big, and the Wang Gonggong and the Yan family did not deliberately hide it. It is only a matter of time before people find out about this relationship.
Some people say mean things and some look down upon them, but ask yourself, who doesn’t envy you? !
In the realm of Guanzhou, the sky is high and the emperor is far away. The King of England is their sky. The chief steward of the Prince of England's palace, the people close to the prince, and the eunuchs with high grades. This kind of relationship... This kind of relationship is recognized. How wonderful!
For scholars, a slight reputation may be a real benefit!
Look at Yan Er, regardless of whether he is ranked first or not, everyone is the same talented scholar on the same list. He can enter the prince's palace as an errand, and be personally named by the prince to go to Xizhou with his son.
An insider also broke the news that before he was selected as a scholar, he was eating a bowl of rice from the palace, which made everyone envious!
Besides, what a beautiful thing he did. He made his son and the prince recognized as relatives, and established a relationship. He also got rid of several famous people in the family. What a chicken thief, what a chicken thief!
All in all, the ladies who came to Yan's house had mixed feelings.
That is, Li Xuemei, a veteran teacher for more than 20 years. The parents of these students, no, the relatives of the students know the thoughts of the students, and they just get some information from her.
Not wanting everyone to say the same thing over and over again, Li Xuemei made a rule of having a small gathering every five days.
They are all people who have just achieved class promotion, and their muddy legs have not been pulled out from the ground. They can't behave like ladies from rich families having leisurely tea. Li Xuemei doesn't have time to create those fake scenes where talented ladies gather together. The main theme is pragmatism.
Last time and the last time, everyone worked together to thaw the frozen soil and mix the cinders and briquettes. Li Xuemei was the main one with her mouth, and the other ladies worked hard, and everyone shared the briquettes equally.
Before that, they kneaded skins together and squeezed goat milk... During the coldest weather, they made tofu for a whole day. The fire in the stove never went out, the pulp and hot water kept flowing, and they sold the remaining tofu. , the Yan family left most of it frozen, and the wives of each family took some back.
Today’s plan is to make shoes. Shoes are the most expensive item all year round.
Mammy Rong made new shoes for their family, with wool stuffing inside and a whole piece of leather sewn on the outside.
They cost a bit of material, but they can't keep you warm. Another advantage of these shoes is that when the snow melts, the ground will be covered with mud, and it's easier to take care of them if they are covered in leather.
If you can't finish making shoes in a day or two, just work on them slowly. By the time you're done, it's almost time to put them on your feet.
“Are you leaving yet?” Li Xuemei asked.
Yan Yu just smiled and said nothing.
Li Xuemei knew it.
It’s time to go!
She took out a few piles of clothes from the kang cabinet.
“Put all your old clothes at home and take them out and wash them. These are the ones your grandma and Madam Rong have made for you. Put them on when you leave.”
“And these are for your father.”
"If you go to Huju, talk to your eldest sister. She has made some for your uncle. Our car is not at home, and my mother can't trust her to deliver it."
Yan Yu responded obediently and turned to look at Mrs. Tian.
Mrs. Tian reacted and said with a smile: "Your master doesn't need it. He wears official uniforms all day long, and even if he does it, it just sits there and eats dust. Two regular uniforms are enough."
Yan Yu looked at her mother carefully, swallowed her saliva and said: "Mom, you don't have to do so much for me. I'm growing taller now, and I'll be smaller after just one winter. Besides, what, I'm wearing new clothes outside." It’s too eye-catching…”
Li Xuemei glared at her.
This dead girl.
If you don’t do bad things, why do you still have to worry about this?
"You have forgotten your sister. You put on your clothes first and leave the small ones for her." Li Xuemei said.
Yan Yu nodded hurriedly: "That's right, leave it to Xiao Ya'er to wear, then I have to wear it more carefully."
"What do you want to eat tonight?" Li Xuemei looked at her daughter. She felt that her round face seemed a little thinner and felt distressed, and her voice softened unconsciously.
“Dumplings stuffed with pickled cabbage! Pickled cabbage and mutton soup! Braised white meat! Dip with pickles!” Yan Yu opened her mouth and drooled uncontrollably.
Li Xuemei laughed.
I won’t talk about the first two. The braised white meat should be dipped in garlic sauce, and the pickles should be dipped in soybean paste. They are both heavy flavors.
Her daughter's mouth was tasteless and she was greedy.
By the time of dinner, Yan Yu not only got the items she ordered, but also the shiny jelly and freshly fried peanuts!
Li Xuemei scooped up a large spoonful of minced garlic, poured soy sauce on it, and handed it to her.
Yan Yu raised her head and looked at Mrs. Tian eagerly.
Mrs. Tian looked at her lovingly and moved her chopsticks first.
Yan Yu then picked up the chopsticks and swept them across the plates on the table with an unrivaled momentum.
Let’s start with a skin jelly, dip it in the garlic sauce, turn it over, and it will be covered all over your body. You swallow it in one gulp, chew it twice as a token, and then it slides down your throat.
Wow!
Cold!
Garlic is refreshing!
Appetizing!
Then there are the dumplings that she has longed for. The sourness of the sauerkraut and the aroma of the meat are perfectly combined to relieve both greasiness and cravings!
Half-fat and half-lean pork, after processing, it has moved away from the low-level taste and moved towards a higher level. The thickness of the meat slices is moderate, and then wrapped in garlic sauce, it is so delicious!
Taste buds are constantly washed.
A few peanuts were put into the mouth at every opportunity.
The more you chew, the better it tastes, the more you chew, the better it tastes!
Yan Yu hummed with satisfaction!
When you get tired of the meat, you pick up a radish stick and poke it into the miso.
Farmer’s miso smells stinky and tastes delicious.
Yan Yu will eat it.
Have a sip of pickled cabbage soup, drink the shredded pickled cabbage without stopping, and then pick up the mutton in the pickled cabbage soup with two chopsticks.
Woooooooo!
I’m so happy!
…
Yan Laoer bought two sheep.
Slice them all to make mutton soup.
General Xue Qi ate without raising his head or eyes. His mouth was always bulging. The only words he spoke were two words: "It tastes good! It tastes good! It tastes good!"
Yan Laoer is somewhat regretful.
"It would be great if there were sauerkraut. Mutton and sauerkraut are a perfect match. The taste is so delicious! My cousin, please wait for us when we get home. Try our own sauerkraut. I'm not exaggerating, but it's delicious. !”
Feng Danian holds the pancake with his left hand and puts meat on top with his right hand. He is too embarrassed to fill it all up. There is a little space between each piece of mutton.
Yan Laoer came over and gave him a few more chopsticks with quick eyes and hands.
He greeted warmly: "Cousin, don't be polite to me. Our family raises a lot of cattle and sheep. Don't think of them as bought. Just think of them as your own. Eat them with open arms!"
He pointed at Qi Si, who was hovering around his cousin, and said: "The Qi family also raises a lot of meat. When we have enough mutton, let's eat beef, hehe!"
General Xue Qi almost choked.
Good guy, this is for Yan Erkuang!
You all want to eat beef?
Not to mention, cattle outside the customs are not under the control of the yamen, and they can really be killed and eaten for meat!
Cousin Feng Da was shocked.
What does it mean to raise a lot? How many have you raised? !
He knew that the Yan family had some wealth, otherwise they would not be able to support three scholars.
What's going on with the Qi family?
How can you make money selling charcoal in Guanzhou?
Why am I not stuck again~~~Yu Yuyu~~~~
